Show Notes

Leadership has zero to do with position or title. It has everything to do with impact. But becoming a leader of impact doesn't just happen by accident. And it doesn't happen over night. It requires focus, intentionality, and a commitment to changing the world for the better. 

I sat down recently with Braden Douglas, founder of CREW Marketing Partners and author of Becoming a Leader of Impact to talk with him about this concept of leadership impact and how every leader can increase the level of impact they make in their organization, the lives of those they serve, and their communities. 

In our conversation, Braden outlines the 7 key characteristics of a Leader of Impact:

  1. Driven by fulfilling a purpose focused on the betterment of others
  2. Confronts & resolves conflicts in relationships with diligence and care
  3. Displays gentleness and patience in the midst of stress, tension, and frustration
  4. Is generous with their advice, their time, and their finances
  5. Disciplined with their personal health, development goals, and activities to ensure they have the energy and capacity for the people and projects that matter
  6. They are part of a community of like-minded people who hold them accountable, encourage them, and spur them toward greater things
  7. Intentional about having an impact on others

This is just a small sampling of the great conversation with Braden. Check it out today, and pick up a copy of Becoming a Leader of Impact!
